Throughout human nature (pardon the expression). Our brother primitive is attached to our skin and runs through our veins as a wellspring of water dyed black. Why
dyed water?
The water is pure and clear. With a smaller drop will be dirty. For more water than we add hundreds or thousands of gallons to make it clear again, still unclean. Even when I see so much water it clear, in any form the water is dirty and harmful.
What man?
A little pity!
There is nothing to say, no story to tell. Thousands of journalists around the world tells you 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
Human stupidity There is no limit. Every day we are bombarded with news of acts of cruelty, and wonder: how can man be capable of such perfidy? Examples range from Rio de Janeiro, where a journalist (Tim Lopes) who was brutally tortured before being killed, to the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq where American boys and girls, who have always behaved in an exemplary manner small provincial communities, end up becoming monsters. In 1971, professors at Stanford University in the United States, created a kind of simulated prison in the basement of the School of Psychology.
chose 12 students at random to act as guards, and a further 12 to be prisoners. All came from the same social middle class, education, rigid and solid moral values. For two weeks, gave the "jailers" absolute authority over the "prisoners." The experience had to be interrupted after a week, since, after only a few days the "guards" began to show increasingly sadistic behavior and abnormal, and became capable of atrocities.
The creator of the Stanford experience, Philip Zimbardo, tells the Herald Tribune:
"I'm not surprised by the photos of Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. This is not a few bad apples within a basket of fresh fruit, but exactly the opposite: people of good feelings to be with the possibility of exercising absolute power, he loses any notion of limits and allowed to express their most primitive instincts.
Another interesting study was that carried out for the Stanley Milgram at Yale University. We selected a group of students to study "techniques of punishment." Each one was put in command of a unit of electric shock, while separated from him on the other side of a glass screen, placed a student who had to answer a few questions. Whenever he Erras, the other student had to deliver a shock, increasing voltage gradually.
shock machine was false, and the "student" was an actor, but the students knew nothing about it. To everyone's surprise, 65% of "interrogators" came to fatal shock.
If human nature is so, what should we do?
An old story set in the Pyrenees, possibly a legend, says that a monk, named Savin, who came to collect donations in gold to the chapel he wanted to build, passed by the house of one of the most sanguinary bandits region. As he had nowhere to sleep, asked to be allowed to stay overnight.
The robber, caught the value of the monk, decided to test him and said:
"You came here to provoke. Want to kill you and steal your money, and become a martyr. "If today
enter here the most beautiful prostitute within the city, would you be able to convince you that it is beautiful and seductive?
-No. But I could control.
"And if a monk entered with gold to build a chapel, could you look at that gold as if they were stones?
-No. But I could control.
Savin and the murderer had the same instincts, good and evil, is the dispute disputed as all souls on earth. When the wrongdoer saw that the monk was equal to him, he also understood that he was equal to Savin, and converted.
all about control.
